I rarely worry about such things Larry Send a noteboard - 01/03/2011 11:06:03 PM
I did decide to pick an unknown author from a previously unread country, so I will read Laila Lalami's Secret Son shortly.

Still making progress on my 5x3 challenge (decided to swap out Latin for German):

English:

Prose - several so far, including a review of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Poem - a few, including Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales

Drama - will be reviewing some of Eric Basso's later this month or next.


Spanish:

Prose - a few, including Don Quijote being reviewed

Poem - Rubén Darío's Azul/Cantos de vida y esperanza

Drama - read de la Barca's La vida es sueño, will review sometime this year.


French:

Prose - a few, including a review of Flaubert's Madame Bovary

Poem - will read Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal later this year

Drama - read Beckett's En attendant Godot, will review later this year.


Italian:

Prose - reviewed Calvino's Il Barone Rampante

Poem - might attempt Dante

Drama - trying to decide between a couple of writers


German:

Prose - reviewed Kafka's Der Prozeß

Drama - will review Goethe's Faust later this month.

Porm - maybe Rilke or Parzival?
